One of the best shows that I’ve attended during my almost 40 years in Texas is one by Austin’s Junior Brown.

In addition to being arguably Texas’ most gifted guitarist, Junior performs an amazing breadth of material that spans Country-Western, Rock and Roll, the Blues and Surf music.

Below are videos of two of his classic country western songs — My Wife Thinks Your Dead and Highway Patrol — and, after the fold, a recording of 409 by Junior and the Beach Boys, plus another of his special medley of rock songs, which includes his spot-on imitation of Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze (!) at around minute six or so.

Junior Brown is a Texas treasure. Enjoy.
